Figured since the ST 300's were starting to hit the public we could have a post that everyone that was getting one could post pics to and give there thoughts. What do you think?

Sounds good RM. Mine is suppose to be here tomorrow. I need to dig out the ST, ST 200, and Core for comparison.

Good idea RM.

I like the idea.

But unfortunately I have no clue at all when mine will be shipped. I ordered from Cabelas and they said 0-1 weeks for shipping time.

I think its been about 3, almost 4 weeks since the order.

There must be a lot of demand for them right now. Didnt know that they would be this popular.

Just a few thoughts after playing with the ST300 for a few days.

Pros:
-Pliers have a new design, they feel strong , beefy, and durable
-Wire cutters seem strong, did not have the chance to use them
-"Edge-safety cumpling" system is a good addition, here is how LM describes this feature: The idea of “clumping” was originally introduced with the first Super Tool. By pulling on only one tool, you would get them all from the handle at once, including the knives. To improve on safety, the new ST300 has just that, “Edge-safety Clumping”. If you pull on either of the two knifes they are the only implement that will come out. Conversely if you pull on any of the other features the sharp-edged ones stay put.
-The screwdrivers have the perfect size for most professional uses
-Durability, you will be using this multitool for a long time
-The ST300 is perfect for work gloves
-Great tool to keep in your car, boat, toolbox, emergency kit, garage, fallout shelter, zombie kit, etc

Cons:
-H E A V Y multitool
-Bulky multitool
-No onehand opening, you are going to use both hands everytime you need a tool
-"Portability", I really don't know how to describe this, but this is not a tool you carry in belt for a long time. I tried to do that for a couple of days and it felt just weird

In general, I like the ST300, Leatherman has a nice product and I'd love to get my hands on the BO version

That is all for now

I'm gunning for next week! If I can find one at the Academy Sports in Pensacola (gotta love a job that allows you to travel).

geoemt · **Reply #9 on:** September 09, 2009, 11:43:55 PM

Almost there Cliosguy.

Chako · **Reply #10 on:** September 09, 2009, 11:45:04 PM

I will be joining in who knows when. I have had two on order for a while now. I just phoned the local shop, and they still claim the item is backordered. Their supplier is American though, so I hope I get them sooner than later.

Poncho65 · **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2009, 04:55:48 AM

Will be joining it sooner rather than later just no date yet

Anybody have any thought on the sheaths or a pic of 1

I am looking forward to trying 1 out

geoemt · **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2009, 07:08:15 AM

Poncho65, mine came with a leather sheath, it is the same model for the Surge, it has two side pockets and one more inside. You can carry the tool in an open or closed position. Nothing special about it, the ST300 fits fine.

I'd be interested in seeing that, especially the relative thicknesses.

Benner · **Reply #14 on:** September 10, 2009, 12:44:42 PM

I will hopefully be joining eventually, but won't be anytime soon.

David · **Reply #22 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:11:16 PM

Heres some quick comparison pics of the ST, ST 200, ST 300 and Core.

RaptorMan · **Reply #23 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:12:48 PM

As I mentioned previously my BO ST 300 the knife and file side of the tool was extremly loose and the tools just fell out of the handle. Well after further examining and tinkering I have found that the pivot screw was not tightened. I can unscrew the screw and remove with my finger tips. if I tighten finger tight the tools are nice and snug.
